| Obverse description | Facing crowned bust of Bishop Dietrich V Hake rendered in a stylized, late-medieval manner, with the crown prominently displayed above the head. The effigy occupies the central field of this small billon hammered schilling. A circular legend in uncial Latin characters surrounds the bust, reading TIDERIEVS · EPVS ·, identifying the issuer as Dietrich Episcopus (Bishop Dietrich). The die work is characteristic of the rough, irregular striking typical of late 15th-century Baltic ecclesiastical coinage. |

| Additional information |
Dietrich V Hake held the see of Dorpat from 1485 to 1498, presiding over a diocese caught between the declining authority of the Livonian Order and the growing pressure of Muscovite expansion under Ivan III. The Bishopric's coinage was functionally tied to the broader Livonian monetary system, but local episcopal issues like this schilling maintained a separate identity reflecting the bishop's temporal as well as spiritual jurisdiction.
The "small bow" designation distinguishes this die variety from related Hake issues catalogued by Haljak — a distinction that matters more to attribution than to contemporary commerce.
